Ingredients
Sandwich
- 1 slice bacon cut in half, widthwise
- 2 slices bread
- 2-3 Tablespoons shredded cheese cheddar cheese, mozzarella, monterey jack, etc (use one kind or a mixture)
- 2-4 ounces precooked chicken breast sliced or shredded
- 1-2 Tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1-2 Tablespoons butter or leftover bacon grease
Optional Toppings
- lettuce
- tomato slices
- red onion slices
Instructions
- Cook one slice of bacon to desired doneness. Set aside.
- While bacon is cooking, sprinkle about ⅔ of 2-3 Tablespoons shredded cheese (cheddar cheese, mozzarella, monterey jack, etc) on one slice of bread.
- Add even layer of chicken (about 2-4 ounces) onto cheese. Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of ranch dressing over chicken. Place cooked bacon on top, once it's done).
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over bacon.
- Spread ½-1 Tablespoon of butter over top slice of bread.
- Place sandwich, buttered side down onto pan, over medium-low heat.
- Spread remaining butter on un-buttered slice. Cook until bread is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook other side until desired doneness.
- Remove once done, open up sandwich and add desired toppings. Slice and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Cook both bacon and chicken bacon ranch sandwich over medium-low heat. The bacon will cook more evenly (and spatter less). And the cheese will melt. Watch this What's Eating Dan video for more info. It'll be worth it (both).
- Use whatever kind of bread that you like best
- Shredded cheese will melt easiest, but use sliced if needed.
- Cheddar cheese, monterey jack, mozzarella or a mixture of any of these will be good. You can also use American cheese.
- You can use leftover bacon grease on sides of bread instead of butter. Place both slices in grease (in the pan) and swirl to cover each slice. You can carefully do this after assembling your sandwich. Place the top slice on after)
- Add any desired toppings, if any. I liked lettuce and tomato, but you can add onions or other toppings.
